"Alliance Leader Chen, we raise a toast to you!"
Nangong Batian and Nangong Hong immediately raised their wine glasses.
Without hesitation, Ge Dapang and his five companions, along with Ning Qitian, poured themselves a full glass of wine.
The Great Sage Equaling Heaven looked at Ning Qitian and laughed, "Your Majesty, please don't think I'm being biased. Originally, I reserved a portion of these inheritances for Princess Qiuhe, but I didn't expect her to find her own path in the ancient war ruins. Proving the Dao through killing is the most powerful of all cultivation paths. Giving her other inheritances would just be useless."
"I understand."
Ning Qitian laughed and said, "However, the fact that you went out of your way to explain shows that you truly consider Qiuhe a friend. I respect you!"
"Okay! Let's do it!"
The Monkey King laughed loudly, raised his wine cup, and the nine people at the table tilted their heads back and drank it all in one gulp.
The Monkey King's trip back to the State of Qi was primarily to meet with his old friends, and he was determined to have a good drink.
As soon as the wine cup was emptied, the Monkey King refilled it and toasted everyone in turn.
At the banquet, toasts were exchanged and drinks were shared. The guards who delivered the wine made countless trips, leaving empty wine jars scattered all over the ground.
As time went on, Ning Qitian became somewhat drunk.
Ning Qitian, holding the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's hand, blushed and stuck out his tongue, saying, "Great Sage Equaling Heaven, I am truly, truly grateful to you... If it weren't for you, the Qi Kingdom would have long been destroyed under the iron hooves of the Mo Hai Empire... In the early stages of the Qi Kingdom's reconstruction, you even sent a Celestial Venerable Realm puppet back to help. I am truly, truly grateful..."
"Your Majesty, the State of Qi is not only the home of the Ning royal family, but also the home of me, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. You are being too polite by saying this."
The Monkey King smiled and drank three more cups with Ning Qitian.
At this moment, Nangong Batian stood up, toasted the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, and asked, "Alliance Leader Chen, how long do you plan to stay in Qi this time?"
The Great Sage Equaling Heaven said, "About half a month. Next, I will take Little Stone to pay respects to Master Hongyan and also give him some pointers. Little Stone is still a child, and I'm afraid he might go astray on the path of cultivation..."
Speaking of his master, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven couldn't help but look at Shangguan Yu and Wen Xinyu. "Shangguan Yu, Senior Sister Wen, there's something I'd like to ask you."
The Monkey King asked expectantly, "Do you have any news about my master, Xu Chang'an?"
When he was in the Holy Sword Sect, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven had two masters: Master Hong Yan and Master Xu Chang'an, who was a master of alchemy.
Xu Chang'an's help to Qitian Dasheng was immense, and he was genuinely kind to him from the bottom of his heart.
However, since the battle outside the Purple Bamboo Forest, Xu Chang'an has left the Holy Sword Sect and his whereabouts are still unknown, which has been a great concern for the Great Sage Equaling Heaven.
"Huh? You didn't know?"
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yu raised an eyebrow and said, "Master Xu has already joined the Alchemist Alliance. He even came to congratulate us when the Holy Sword Sect was being rebuilt."
"Um?"
The Monkey King was taken aback.
Master Xu Chang'an has joined the Alchemist Alliance?
When did this happen?
However, it's understandable when you think about it. Xu Chang'an is obsessed with alchemy, and after leaving the Holy Sword Sect, he will inevitably join an alchemy faction.
The Alchemist Alliance was willing to take Xu Chang'an in, presumably because they valued his ability to compile alchemy formulas.
Xu Chang'an's alchemy skills were not up to the standards of the Alchemist Alliance, but his master was quite talented in developing new types of pills. He had created several pill formulas when he was in the Holy Sword Sect and was quite well-known in the alchemist world.
It seems that after leaving Qi, I will have to make a trip to the Alchemist Alliance.
And in a few days, the Alchemist Conference of the Cultivation World, hosted by the Alchemist Alliance, will begin, right?
